As if to confirm Mu Xingxue's guess, the two keywords "Flying Bird" and "Muxuxing" soon became hot searches on Weibo, and their rankings continued to rise. "Flying Bird" also appeared on many video websites.
#After "The Little Prince", another new work from Muxuxing is coming! #
#The new work of the director of "The Little Prince", the healing animated short film "Flying Birds" is not inferior to "The Little Prince", with a score of 9.0, it may become the dark horse of the year! #
#If You Are a Flying Bird—In-depth Interpretation of Muxuxing’s New Work “Flying Bird”#
As the hot searches related to "Flying Bird" became more and more popular, and even gradually broke into the top ten, many people who happened to be browsing Weibo soon noticed these Weibo posts.
"Huh? When will Xingxing make another animated short film? Why is there no news at all... Forget it, I'll just take a look first!" This is a fan of Mu Suxing.
"Mu Suxing? I think he's the animation director of The Little Prince?" This person didn't have much impression of Mu Suxing himself, but liked The Little Prince very much: "Well... since it's an animated short film directed by The Little Prince, the quality must be guaranteed. Let me take a look!"
In addition, there are also people who neither know much about Muxiuxing nor are interested in the animated short film itself.
These people may not be very interested in artistic animation, but "Flying Bird" is only 4 minutes long, so it doesn't waste time to watch it. In addition, the reviews on Weibo seem to be very high, so many people clicked in with a nonchalant attitude.
"Flying Bird" is an animated short film about a long-distance relationship. The "Flying Bird" in the title refers to the real birds in the animation and is also a metaphor for the love between the hero and heroine in the short film.
Long-distance relationships are a heavy way of love, but the animation producers used a fairy-tale style to weaken the sad mood, creating a faint feeling of warmth and healing, coupled with a quiet and gentle soundtrack. At the end of the short film, the hero and heroine hugged each other tightly at the train station on a winter night, and the birds folded their wings and quietly stopped on the railings, many people were immediately moved.
"I accidentally saw this video and cried. I'm on my way to the train station now. Although I don't know where the future will lead to, at least now, I want to walk with you [tears]"
"Thanks to the almighty netizens, Xingxing must not know that she has been exposed [smirk] Muxuxing, Xingxing, stop pretending! We all recognized her~"
“Ahhqaq As expected, I just have no resistance to this kind of picture! I love this style so much! The picture is so beautiful, and it feels so healing and depressing, like there are glass shards in the candy... No matter how I look at it, it looks like the style of my Xingxing 23333”
“This is the most amazing animated short film this year, bar none. It’s the first time I’ve watched this kind of animated short film. I don’t know how to describe it, but I just feel that the visuals and art are really great. Every frame is a wallpaper. I really want to watch similar animated shorts. Please recommend!”
“I recommend my Xingxing’s last animated short film “The Little Prince”. I would like to say that I think “The Little Prince” is better than “Flying Birds”… But “Flying Birds” is also great. In short, I strongly recommend “The Little Prince”. The pictures are amazing and full of tension. The atmosphere and artistic conception are great. It is definitely a visual feast!”
Amidst the overwhelming positive reviews, some negative reviews stand out.

#How do you evaluate Mu Suxing’s new work “Flying Bird”

Come uninvited.
I have watched the entire series of "The Little Prince" no less than 100 times, and I couldn't help but turn off "Flying Birds" after watching the beginning.
I will just say two things:
If Asuka is indeed the work of Muxuxing, then I suggest that he should just stick to commercial animation and not try to get involved in art animation. Really, wouldn't it be better to keep the style of The Little Prince? Why not come out and ruin your old age
I don't want to say anything anymore, what a crap this "Flying Birds" is, and some idiots and marketing accounts sincerely boast that it is "not inferior to "The Little Prince"", wake up, this animated short film is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of "The Little Prince", thank you.
However, according to this line of thought, I can understand why Mu Suxing deliberately created a pseudonym to make "Flying Bird". He dared to use his real account to release such a bad art animation. I'm afraid he would be criticized to death by senior film critics in the circle.
If this animated short film is not the work of Mu Suxing... emmmmm, then I think Mu should really reflect on himself. Since he has decided to become a wealthy businessman, should the relevant departments in the company be equipped? What cats and dogs dare to come and make trouble

"? You speak so nicely, can't you say a little more?"
“It causes extreme comfort. I know sweet wine will never let me down, hahahaha!”
"Finally someone has spoken up and said something fair. It's really frustrating to read all the hype on Weibo. It's not even inferior to The Little Prince. The marketing company has really lost all their dignity for the sake of money."
"Just to be honest, Xing fans also feel it's weird. How should I put it... I feel that the images of "Flying Birds" are indeed very good, but it just feels weird. It doesn't seem like Xing Xing's work. As a result, Weibo and Yueqi Video are saying that Xing Xing has been exposed. I really don't understand..."
"Emmmm, I can predict the main story by looking at the ID. Amashi, are you sick? You have to criticize any animation they make? Are you a professional hater? You just say Asuka is garbage. It's just the first sentence, and the main story is all made up. It's so funny."

Since some people have such poor aesthetic taste that they can't even tell whether an animation is trash or a treasure, okay, I'll teach you reluctantly.
I was discouraged from watching "Flying Bird" after watching it for 2 minutes. I won't say more. I will just briefly tell some of you little deaf and blind people about the first two minutes.
The animation soundtrack is good, but unfortunately the plot and the soundtrack are basically mismatched, the pace is surprisingly slow, and the scene changes are not coherent enough. The picture is amazing at first glance, but it is just a castle in the air. It reminds me of a movie that was a big hit last year. The visual art was really beautiful, but the plot was completely empty and the narrative was 0 points.
Then there is the problem of action design. The scene where the heroine turned around so quickly made me feel so embarrassed. Didn't I learn physics in high school, or did the animation course in college not teach you the steps of human body turning
When the body rotates in one direction, the center of gravity should move first, which means breaking the balance of the body. What should appear on the screen is the head moving first, because we usually use our heads to see the specific direction of movement before we move other parts in sequence.
Many people also think it is particularly romantic, the scene where the hero and heroine are dating in the amusement park and riding the flying dragon. Generally speaking, at this time, in order to prevent centrifugal force from escaping, we will clamp our legs together and subconsciously keep our bodies close to the gripping point of our hands. As a result, "Flying Bird" emmmm
I won’t go into details, after all, I’m not your teacher, and I’m not responsible for teaching you animation mechanics and gravity. It’s obvious that this animator has really learned a lot about animation mechanics, but it’s enough to fool the ignorant laymen, after all, it’s enough for the pictures to look good [laughs]

Huaying Animation Office Building.
"I should have been prepared from the beginning to prevent this kind of situation." Mu Xingxue's eyes darkened slightly, and he shook his head gently, with a look of annoyance on his face: "I took it for granted. I subconsciously felt that the animation industry should not be like the entertainment industry, using such despicable means..."
It's easy to imagine that this is impossible.
Wherever there are people and conflicts of interest, there are bound to be twists and turns. Especially now that the animation industry is booming, there are capitals that want to make money and newcomers who are scrambling to get in. Huaying Animation's performance in profitability is there, so it would be strange if no one is jealous.
Mu Suxing shook his head: "Don't blame you, I didn't expect it either."
He was too careless.
In his previous life, Mu Suxing had experienced some unspeakable things in the animation circle. Some people would change the appearance and copy the plots and lines, and unscrupulously make money by claiming to be original; some people would make a mess of the details and cause the pictures to collapse at any time, purely to defraud the country's support funds.
Since the standard for the state to provide support funds is all animations that have passed the review and are broadcast on television and official channels, some people will even negotiate the profit sharing with the television station in advance. With the green light from the television station, they can just make a low-cost animation, and as long as it is broadcast on television, they can get support funds from the state, and they are happy to cheat people out of money.
For some people, if they can blatantly defraud support funds, then stepping on an animation director to allow their own people to take the top position does not seem to be a difficult thing to understand.
"I'll find someone to clarify first. We can't just let this go," Mu Xingxue suppressed his annoyance and said calmly, "Your fame will only grow in the future. What if everyone comes to take advantage of your popularity? We can't set this precedent!"
Mu Suxing was not as anxious as him. He shook his head and said casually, "No need."
Mu Xingxue frowned: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
He still remembers the movie "Flying Birds" he watched.
Frankly speaking, even if one doesn't understand animation, one can see that the pictures of this animated short film are really beautiful and it truly has the ability to amaze people. Every frame of the picture is worthy of being used as a wallpaper.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Xingxue felt increasingly unhappy.
It can be seen that the person behind the scenes manipulating such a marketing plan is a veteran. The only work that can be used for comparison by Mu Xuxing was a year ago. Although the animated feature he made during that period made a lot of money, it was ultimately a commercial animation and was not convincing at all. The other party just seized this opportunity and made it clear that he wanted to step on Mu Xuxing to get to the top.
"This animation is just to deceive passers-by who don't know what's going on," Mu Suxing said nonchalantly, "The more it hypes something that is unworthy of its position, the faster the backlash will come."
For this kind of animated short film, it would be fine if there was no contrast, but once there was contrast, its seemingly bright and beautiful clothes would be nowhere to hide under the true light.
According to the time calculation, it is almost time for the animation works of graduates from Xingning University of the Arts to be publicly displayed on Yunsu Video.

Haidong City.
This is an extremely small private cinema.
The lights in the room were very dim, and the large screen facing the crowd was pitch black. Further down, the single sofas that could only accommodate 20 people were occupied. In front of each soft and comfortable sofa, there was a clean and neatly placed name tag.
If there are movie lovers standing here, they will be surprised to find that this seemingly small theater is actually filled with the most experienced and outstanding industry workers in the animation industry in the past decade!
Considering the annual Eleanor Awards ceremony, which is getting closer and closer, the reason why these senior film critics and producers gathered here from afar is obvious -
The review of nominations for the 56th Eleanor Awards has officially begun!
